igoogle (more cool vanity programming)

There's no doubt about it, librarians are cool. Because I work for a county library system, I get tech training every month or so. Last session we set up our own igoogle account which now opens on my work desktop. You can customize your homepage with literally thousands of options from tropical fish-tanks to stock quotes and video games. Being at work, I have to stick with book and research type options. Each box represents a group of links, so you can catagorize by subject. If you want a group of links to favorite sports teams, you can set that up or you can create a whole new page exclusivly for sports. igoogle also offers a tab called reference that already has dictionary.com, a language translator, wiki and other cool links built in. If this sounds like an endorsement, it is. I just happen to like this application a lot.

Here is my home page as it stands today.
more soon...

It's well beyond my computer skills, but my husband likes this and his page keeps cropping up over the computers in the household.

My fear is that if I collected all my good links together in one obvious place, I might never work again...

Very, very cool. But I'm with Litlove: I'm sure it's way beyond my computer skills.

It really isn't that hard to do, but it might be a distraction from what you two do so brilliantly, writing great blog-posts. One of the reasons I posted on this was because I wanted to see if the "snag-it" function worked on my office computer. This lets you take snapshots of anything you are doing on the computer. This is how I posted the image of my home page. Man, I'm sounding geeky.

and I'll be glad to share my secrets at my blog.
